<p>Rembang Regency is a central area for wood apples, but the population is decreasing, so the plant population must be increased to ensure it does not become extinct. To propagate wood apple plants, information on high-quality seed sources is necessary to produce healthy seedlings. The research aimed to determine the germination and growth characteristics of wood apple seeds from five districts in Rembang, where there are still many wood apple plants. The research consisted of two experiments: germination and growth of wood apple seedlings. The research was a single-factor experiment using a completely randomized design, consisting of 5 seed source districts, namely Kaliori, Lasem, Sulang, Rembang, and Pamotan districts. The results showed that there were differences in the germination characteristics of wood apples from five seed sources in Rembang; however, no differences were observed in seedling growth. Seeds from Pamotan and Sulang, which have a heavier seed weight, provide a higher percentage of germination and seedling emergence than seeds with a lower weight. Seeds from Kaliori, which had the lowest seed weight, showed a lower percentage of germination and seedling emergence. Even though there was no difference in seed growth, the seeds from Pamotan and Sulang, which had seeds with a higher weight, showed better seed growth. On the other hand, seeds with a lower weight give lower seedling growth.</p>

<p>Karanganyar Regency is one of the sweet potato producers in Central Java Province, which often utilizes sweet potatoes for processing into traditional foods and industrial raw materials. The availability of sweet potato production is important to meet the raw material needs of these food products. This study aims to determine the factors that influence sweet potato farming production in Karanganyar Regency. The study was conducted through a survey using an interview method using a questionnaire to 50 sweet potato farmers in Karanganyar Regency in 2020, with snowball sampling. The method used was <em>Ordinary Least Squares</em> (OLS) with <em>Cobb-Douglas</em> production function. The results showed that input production factors that significantly influence sweet potato farming production are land area, seedlings, and labor, while fertilizers have no significant effect on sweet potato farming in Karanganyar Regency. Furthermore, sweet potato production farming in Karanganyar shows that there is <em>Decreasing Return to Scale</em>, as indicated by a return to scale value is 0,978. Optimizing land use for sweet potato farming in Karanganyar Regency by using superior seeds is a priority for farmers to increase sweet potato farming production, followed by efficient labor allocation with mentoring and training from agricultural extension workers for farmers.</p>
